| INFO.1Statutory ballot information pamphletIs there a statutory requirement to publish a voter pamphlet (or analog) with candidate and ballot-question information, with content and distribution defined? | 1/1100.0% | Cal. Elec. Code § 19321 cross-references the 'county voter information guide for the election' as the canonical document election officials must align with for ballot labels. § 19323 requires delivery of 'two county voter information guides' to each polling place. § 18301 criminalizes duplication of unauthorized simulated guides — confirming the voter-information-guide is a statutorily required publication (governed in detail by Div 9, not ingested). | § view source 2026-05-17 |
| INFO.2Multilingual ballot requirementAre the triggers for multilingual ballots and voter materials set by statute (population thresholds, language-minority criteria)? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-17 |

| CAND.1Candidate-filing public accessAre candidate-filing documents (nominating petitions, eligibility certifications) required by statute to be publicly accessible within a defined time? | 0/10.0% | No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Candidates surface only recount-petition procedures (§§ 15640, 15624, 15645), not the candidate-filing public-access provisions which live in Div 1 and Div 8 of Elec Code (not ingested under the focused-mechanics scope). | § view source 2026-05-17 |
| CAND.2Candidate disqualification publicationIf a candidate is disqualified or withdraws after the ballot is printed, is the public-notice procedure codified in statute? | 0/10.0% | No candidate sections returned by FTS. | no FTS match 2026-05-17 |

| NOTIF.1Pre-election notice in statuteIs the requirement to notify voters of an upcoming election (date, polling place, registration deadline) set in statute with timing and content defined? | 0/10.0% | § 19287 (remote vote-by-mail certification) and § 19211 (voting-system certification) codify 30-day public-review and public-hearing requirements — but these are for equipment certification, not for noticing voters of upcoming elections. Election notice provisions live in Div 12 (not ingested). | § view source 2026-05-17 |
